Realizing that the child's alarming condition had become possible in spite of the medicines given, I reasoned that suoh remedies would be of no avail. Having part of a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in the house, I gave the child three doses, at abort Intervals, and anxiously waited results.

TODD, Publisho GRITISAI IN NOVA SCOTIA. For the four years, 1878-82, the Pro- vince of Nova Scotia was governed by a Conservative administration -a pro- minent member of which was the pre- sent. Premier of, Canada, Sir John Thompson. That Government not only lived within its income, which was much less than the revenue of the province to -day, but actually reduced the floating debt of the province Over $70,000. The general election in 1882 resulted in a change of government. The so-called "Liberal" party, which in Nova Scotia is a collection of a great variety of factions, mostly anti- British and anti -Canadian in their sympathies, came into power. The re- sult was the same as generally happens where Gritism gets in the saddle. The new Government, ,of which Mr. Field- ing early became leader, at once com- menced making expenditures greatly in excess of the provincial revenue, and has kept steadily on in the same path. The following are • the official figures showing the revenue and ex- penditure for each year from 1883 to 1892, inclusive : Revenue. Ekpenditme. 1883 $563,861 • $ 641,755 1884 586,561 803,680 1885 613,026 815,041 1886 631,946 800,803 1887 6.54,614 781,486 1888 712,951 883,570 1889 668,774 1,272,784 1890 664,938 1,118,885 1891 661,541 1,104, 822 1802 760,075 990,711 Totals $6,526,190 $9,213,507 An over -expenditure in the ten years of 82,687,317, or over 41 per cent. in excess of the revenue! Were the Dominion Government to exceed its income to the same extent, it would mean an annual addition to the na- tional debt of over $15,000,000. And it may he added that nearly all this over- expenditure was on services that pre- vious to 1883 had been paid for out of current revenue. Though, with intent to deceive, Mr. Fielding introduced in- to the public accounts an assumed dis- tinction between "capital" and "orclin- tiry" expenditure, it was merely a dis- tinction without a difference, ?`9r his so-called "capital" expenditures were, for the most part, precisely similar to expenditures classed as "ordinary." The inevitable result of all this wag 'the rapid creation of a permanent provincial debt. And the result of the debt was the creatioh of a permanent interest charge, the growth of which is phenomenal, even under Grit rule. The following are the official figures thowing the interest paid by the pro- • vince oil each ttieyears. named l 1888 $ 1,100 1:':.I 0. , , , $ 66,70/ 1881 11,091 1800. 08445 1885 20,781 1091, ... , . 109,018' 1880 48,860 1802 120,1(8 ' 1887 49,800 1898.... . 129,6f 5 18$8 4$59 For 1894 it is estimated that the in- terest. and sinking fund will absol b about one-fifth the entire revenue cf the province. And, like other Grit Governments, the Government of Nova Scotia finds it more in accordance with "sound Liberal principles'• to let y new taxes than to keep its expenditure within its revenue. It has accordinL,ly increased the coal royalties06 pernei.., and introduced heavy succession duties, while at the sante reducing the grants to some of the more important pro- vincial services, Such is Grit practice when in power! Our readers will re - nlal•k how very different it is from their theories where, as in Ottawa, they azo in opposition. (2) Sxrror-r's CURE is soldon a guaran- tee. It cures Incipient Oonsurnptior.

Hav- ing seen hint to advantage, I can well appreciate a story which was toll nee by one who is not far removed from the person of the Pontiff. The deli- cacy of liis physique, thtt liberality of his mind and the gentleness of his disposition induced many to think when Leo ascended to the Popedot that he might he a man who could be easily moulded by parties. When he chose the title by which he was to he known as the 208th successor to St. Peter, a cardinal who was in his confi- dence exclaimed : "Oh 1 the unlucky 13!" e" Ah 1 but the lion ! " replied Leo, with a quiet simile, as he closed hie hand over that of the cardinal in an iron grip. That frair Pope with the unlucky number has proved himself well worthy of the leonine name. He knows hoe' to manage men and how to rule them. There is the grip of steel beneath the velvet glove. This Pope thinks ahead. He watches with the keenest interest the social changes throughout the world; and he is endeavoring to shape a policy which may be continued by his successors, a policy which may bring the church into proper relation with those changes. He sees in the world signs of upheaval; changes whose results cannot be foretold ; he sees anarchy rising here and there, and defiance of order, the uprooting of old ideas which have been cherished by the nations ; he hears the march of European deatocracy-a democracy determined to upset the old institu- tions, but yet hardly knowing how they will be replaced. • STOP, LADY, STOP 1 Lean and lank, He's such a crank ; My stars !

The season of sealing is just about to begin in Newfoundland, and a busy sea. sem it is. Everybody in the dolony, with its 200,000 population, is intent on the sealing season and interested in its re- sults. In the space of a week or two the ice which lies along the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador will be alive with young seals, whoa beating, as heard front a distenoe, 18 exactly the same as that which comes from the throats of a thousand lambs. For a short period previous to the birth of their young the old seals make their way south from the Arctic regions to the ice which most favors them in the whelp- ing season. Whelping ice," as the old salts call it, is low, fiat and smooth rather than hummocky, and, as such, it affords a place of safety for the young seals in the liret fete days of their life. When about ten days or a fortnight old the young seals are in prime condition, and the pelts yield a pure oil. In the old days the Beale were pursued by hunters all along the evaa, and a considerable qd:entity were taken, while the enyriadd out on the ice, away from the coast, re• enaiued untouched. 'Twenty vetted ago, or perhaps longer, a few small seam., vessels used to fit out annually at St. John's, Newfoundland, for ice hunting. These vessels were frail, and therefore not available for much tattling. with the ice, though the hunters were able by their means to go further to sea, the number of seals caught was still very small. It was not until *Learners were built for sealing that the .seal industry rose into the importance which it holds today in Haat colony. At the present time two large fleets of steamers go to the ice every spring and return, gener- ally with freights of seals utnnberiug, in smile cases as high as 45,000 and 50,- 000 apiece. One fleet hulls frim the port of Dundee, in Scotland, the other is fitted out and owned by merchante resident in St. John's. PREPARING FOR A CRUISE, When the time arrives for the fleet to leave harbor such a scene as that 'pre- sented on the wharves and iu the streets of St. John cannot be equaled anywhere else ou earth; neither cau it be adequate- ly; descrit.ed. Since as tuauy as 300 to 600 sealers crowd into one of the steam- ers, the provisions necessary to feed so targe a family -perhaps for a long pe- riod -are very extensive, and they are brought to the wharves by a ceaseless stream of carts and sleighs. Barrels of pork, of beef, of flour and of biscuits, hard tach, chests of tea -fur a New- foundlander could not live without his black• tea -cases of tobacco aud some rum -usually a good lot of this -last -is stowed away in the lockers, Then come the sealers, in crowds. Each man is attired in a heavy flannel sntock,frock or Guernsey jacket, Indian skin boots, an Elisuore cap with flaps for ears, seal- skin (teethe!) gloves, harpoon, pelting knife, a hauling rope and suOWshoes or racquets. It is not to be understood that these leen get berths or sleeping places 111 board the sealing steamers, for they do nut even expect them. They will never undress,uor wash,nor pay the least altentiou to their toilet. so long as the hunt laste,aud it sometimes lasts fur weeks at a time. When night comes and sleep steals over hien the hardy hunter - as hardy as steel -squats iu some quiet corner on a barrel or heap of seal pelts or on a sail. or any where at all where he can stow tl,emself. STARTING FOR THE SEAL FIELDS. When all has been' made snug and taut on board and the captain of the sailing steamer has his immense crew aboard, affectionate farewells are said. a shrill siren wakes the echoes of the hills that" frown over the magnificent harbor of St. Joan's, ropes and hawsers are let go and away;goes the fleet to battle with the ice floes and to secure, as they gen- erally do, a valuable cargo. But, alas, many of the sailing steamers have never returned 1 ' The voyage, though brief, is full of dangers, and at least a dozen vessels have been crushed to pieces in the ice and gone to the bottom during the past two decades. One hour after leaving harbor the steamers get out into the heavy ice, and from that moment uutil they returu there is almost a ceaseless conflict with the ice. A characteristic feature of the sealing steamer is what is known as the "barrel," Now the barrel is literally a barrel which is placed at the foremast head, made fast and used as is look -out station. This barrel is never without an occupant by night as well as day. The man in this lookout has for tile time be- ing the whole responsibility of the ship and crew resting ou him. He is looking out not only for "patches" of seals ("patch" is a herd), but lie has also to look out fur the easiest passage ,for the vessel through the ice. He has a lonely billet, and, when a storm is raging, a by no means agreeable one. The lookout man, or the "barrel man," as he is call- ed, is changed every few hours, as the crew is so large. The watch ou the bar- rel has eometimes to be kept up for days without sighting the seals ; sometimes only for a few hours. THE GAME SIGHTED. When the gime is sighted "Strolls ahead 1 swot's ahead 1" is yelled by the barrel man, and everybody on the ship is thrown into the Wildest confusion and excitement. The rattlings aro instantly crowded and hundreds of eager eyes look out serosa the dreary waste of ice to Bee the ewo►ls,,, as the seals are local - le. described. Meanwhile the ship steamer slowly ahead, but if a "lead" or opening in the ice is found, •full sail is crowded on. "Full speed" is the com- mand for the engineer and, in a jiffy, the ship finds herself in tie midst of the seals, a countless herd. Then what a slaughter ensues ! Arming himself with hie harpoon, rifle, scalping knife, haul- ing rope, and snowshoes out leaps every man on to the ice, and an indescrib- able scene of carnage is enacted. The young seals pay no attention to the on- rush of the murderous hunter, but the old seals leave the ice and dive into the little pools of water that are always in the midst of the shelving ice. These are sometimes shot in the water and secur- ed. The young seals are always club- bed, The only sign they make when the hunter approched them is useally an upturned Ounce with their beautifully liquid eyes and, maybe, a piteous bleat.

A little ice chest, a, chafing -dash out. fit, a ene out into orthodox b odox shape, and a table that can be hamper of afternoon tea calces, line tea, extra coffee and preserved and spiced fruit make a snug culinary apd luncheon equipment. Melly society ladies of New York go to Europe with precisely these things.

For each crossing there is a now woolen suit, and fine sets of all -wool uudergarmeuts are specially provided and ruthlessly sacrificed in tile' same way. Many ladies suffer to suoh an extent from mal -do mer that they are u illing to do anything to avoid the uut:Ot1ifol'- table biekness. 'i'I,ese have hammocks swung in their great staterooms, and with arrangements at heed and toot for keeping the hauauigck in poeitiou, so that no natter what the rolling of the ship, there will only be the swiug of the hanunock and aslight rising and falling. The Carnegie-Blaine-Damresch parties always travel with plent9' of these com- fortable equipments ; and they have be- sides very large steamer chairs that fold flat. and Freuch bed arrangements that yield easily to the spring 01 the boat. Several of the ladies have wheel chairs. All the ladies of the party are bad sailors, and so there goes a great deal of "medi- cine" along to ward off the terrors of au unusually bad night. Nearly all the ladies of the Four Hun- dred travel abroad with a case or two of champagne, w111011 is taken as medicine, and is specially cooling and soothing to those nut accustomed to its use. The ate ttard cares for the wiue, and has it cooled to exactly the non-irritant tem- perature. TI ere are many restrictions to ordi- 'ary passengers aboard ship, but those who have the golden key can unlock all doors leading to absolute comfort and lo•as-you-wantiveness. The entire ship's toff, from the captain down, are tipped very well, and all nico things are pro- ided. The steamer which brought ver the body of William Astor two ears ago was filled with the members f the Astor family and rich friends, nd the chance passengers assert that ever did they enjoy a voyage more, de- pite the sadness of some of the voya- ors. It is pleasant to watch the agaries of people who are trying to pend the interest on 860,000,000 a year; red no one complains at less attention. ship devoid of millionaires is as unin- eresting as a town with only common folk in it.

British agricultural returns for 1893 show the remarkable fact that during last year some 150,000 acres of laud in Great Britain were withdrawn from cultivation and turned into pasture. This is spoken of as an "actual abandon- ment of cultivation" of this area. Tile main point deducted is that Great Britain is rapidly ceasing to be a wheat - producing country. Compariug the pre- sent wheat area with that of 1873 the decline is 1.800,000 acres. The returns also show that fruit farming and market gardening are largely increasing. In 1893 there were 05,487 acres in this kind of cultivation as against 62,148 acres in 1892. Argument has been largely made of late that if English farmers would give their attention to truck -farming and fruit raising they might retrieve their almost ruined fortunes. They can- not compete with America and India in wheat -growing, and they lose more nlouey every year. At the same tune immense quantities of fruit, vegetables, butter, cheese, eggs, and even milk are imlorted from abroad. Butter and eggs come in shiploads even from as far as Australia. Last year butter, cheese, and eggs alone to the value of £25,820,- 000 were imported into Great Britain. The economists are seeking to learn why this splendid income cannot be secured for English pockets. -New York Sun. Mrs. Booth ou Woman Suffrage. Mrs. Ballington Bootle's opinions on woman suffrage are interesting for she knows quite as mumu about women, good and bad together, as anybody in the country. She believes that even the lowest class of women would bring a certain salutary influence to the ballot. for among the worst there is a certain sense of justice, 0 respect for the right which is not common in the same class of men. In the matter of punishment for crime, Mrs. Bootle spoke very strongly of the influence site believes woman's vote will exercise -not to lighten her penal ties, but to inflict equal retribution upon the man for the same transgression. Site was, however, emphatic against much of the suffrage talk which belittles man. It 18, she declares, against all progress, it de- grades the idea of womanhood, fur the noblest, highest type Beeks only to stand side by side with the noblest, highest manhood. It is not a strife for prece- dence. Mrs. Booth also said that while she felt sure in many ways it would be an advantage to women to have the bal- lot, it would also involve a great waste elf time, since they will be obliged to consider eo many subjects and give their attention to so many purely political is- - sues that only in a remote way concern women. "But in spite of all this," she said, "1 hold for woman's suffrage, It will counteract the Saloon vote; tvomen will not )rot immoral men into position* of power." -Buffalo Express, ra Severe Piga int Shoulder der Z Ye s, turd by The D &L'Menthol Plaster, My wife was atlfieetl for two yenfs with .severe pale under the left shoulder mei through to toe 6esn, alter;sing many remedies without rellef,'bhetrieda MD,(t 1,."
